A novel process for identifying reusable program clones is described in this work. The process is applied to a very demanding context, a large-scale closed source healthcare software system. As results, the applicability and maturity of the clone detection system are discussed but also the results of the study are summarized. In this, especial care has been taken in order to retain result comparability with other hallmark studies on clone detection.
